Chapter 55: A Huge Deal

"Brother Han, what do you think of this Chamber of Commerce?"

After Xiao Ming was summoned, in the Wei family restaurant in Qingzhou, the merchants sat at a table in twos and threes, and the little two in the restaurant were busy with their feet not touching the ground, and the arrival of the merchants made the business of the restaurant busy.

"It can only be said that the King of Qi is really calculating, in this way, although the King of Qi is in Qingzhou, he has clamped down on the merchants in the world, and all the businessmen who join the Chamber of Commerce must take the King of Qi as the leader." The businessman surnamed Han said.

"What Brother Han thinks is also what I think, it's just that King Qi relies on fine wine, perfume and soap, if we don't join the Chamber of Commerce, we will get nothing, but if we join, this has to be at the mercy of King Qi, take out a lot of money to buy the fief that originally belonged to King Yan and sell it, why don't you threaten to ban it with advice?" The man said.

"No! King Qi wouldn't care that King Yan forbade other merchants to buy and sell, because his own merchants would secretly bring these three things in for silver, and King Qi wouldn't lose much at that time, but you and I would make a lot less silver taels. The businessman surnamed Han said.

"In this way, I can only join the Chamber of Commerce." The man said.

"King Qi's trick is clever, there is no other way." The merchant surnamed Han sighed.

As the two discussed, the other merchants were also discussing the matter of this chamber of commerce, and the purpose of the final discussion between the two was the same, and they found that they could not restrain King Qi in this matter.

So the next day's auction, the merchants who came to the Governor's Mansion the day before yesterday still came.

They searched for their hometown on the map of Dayu, and although they were aggrieved, they still had to spend silver to buy the sales area of their hometown, and if they had less silver, they would probably only be able to produce soap.

At a glance from yesterday, Xiao Ming also arrived at the Governor's Mansion today, and at the same time, Pang Yukun, Li Kaiyuan, Qian Dafu and others are all there, if today's matter is successful, the Qi Wangfu will earn a huge amount of silver.

"Your Highness, this map of the Great Chongqing Kingdom is well drawn." Seeing the map of the Great Chongqing Kingdom hanging on the wall, Pang Yukun had admiration in his eyes.

The outline of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, the location of the states are clear, and the specific mountains and rivers are also presented, and he has never seen such detailed drawings.

"It's just something that comes at your fingertips." Xiao Ming smiled, today is the turning point of Qingzhou's development, if the money earned today is sufficient, he will be able to show his strength at the beginning of spring, after all, there are really too many things to do.

While the two were talking, a gorgeously dressed merchant below shouted: "Your Highness, I want all the prefectures and counties in the fiefdom of King Wei, is 300,000 taels of silver enough?" ”

"Who in the world doesn't know the wealth of King Wei's fiefdom, Jinling City is the land of merchants, literati and writers, and singers in the world, sixteen states, is there less than 300,000 taels of silver?" Li Kaiyuan said lightly.

At this time, a businessman exclaimed: "Isn't this the Jinling Rich Ding Wanquan?" ”

"That's right, it's indeed him, it is said that this Ding Wan's entire family assets are exchanged for silver for tens of millions of taels, and there are millions of taels just for the worship of King Wei every year."

"Hey, it is said that the bowls used by this Ding family are all golden."

“……”

The discussion below reached Xiao Ming's ears, Xiao Ming almost vomited blood, his family assets were worth tens of millions of taels of silver, so he was really embarrassed, Xiao Wenxuan's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver made him so happy that he couldn't sleep.

Pang Yukun looked at Ding Wanquan coldly, saw Xiao Ming so shocked, and said: "Why is Your Highness so surprised, except for this Ding Wanquan, there are several giants in the fiefdom of each vassal king, this Ding Wanquan is not Erer, it is said that the richest in Dayu is the Cao family in Jiangnan, known as the rich rival country, and the assets of the family are converted into silver enough to be ten thousand taels." “

"Ten thousand taels?" For the first time, Xiao Ming felt how failed he was as a vassal king, this is 100 million, and this Cao family is simply the version of Shen Wansan of the Great Yu Kingdom.

It is said that the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, Shen Wansan's family property was converted into silver, worth 2 billion taels of silver, Zhu Yuanzhang built the wall, Shen Wansan was contracted by one person, and now every brick on the city wall of Nanjing is still engraved with the word "10,000".

Pang Yukun was even more surprised by Xiao Ming's reaction, and sneered: "It's just fish and meat on the chopping board, if King Wei is hungry, just kill this Ding Wanquan." ”

Xiao Ming had a layer of coldness behind him, this Great Yu Kingdom is the official standard after all, in Pang Yukun's eyes, these merchants are just pigs raised by the vassal king, and the fatter the better.

"Pang Changshi Gaozhi." Although Xiao Ming wanted to spray Pang Yukun's face, it was obviously not the time to fight with him, he still had to watch the show.

"When did Brother Ding become so stingy, this Wei King's fiefdom of the state and county will have at least one million taels, if Brother Ding doesn't want it, let me do it?" A businessman said.

Ding Wanquan is not tall, five short figures, but his skin is very white, and the mustache on his mouth is particularly conspicuous, he looked at the person who spoke, and said: "It turned out to be Brother Han, it is said that Brother Han is now the number one giant under the command of King Yan, and now it seems that it is true." ”

"Brother Ding has won the award, we are still in business." The merchant surnamed Han looked at Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, I am willing to pay one million taels of silver to buy the right to sell the fief of King Wei." ”

Ding Wanquan's face suddenly looked a little unsightly, the 300,000 is indeed less, but one million is too high, the fiefdoms of King Wei and King Yan both occupy the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, adjacent to each other, and there are naturally some contradictions during the period, this person's name is Han Kang, and he is also a giant of King Yan's fief, and his family assets are not inferior to him.

Now that he joins the Chamber of Commerce, he must fulfill the regulations of the Chamber of Commerce, if Han Kang buys it, he will not be able to explain in front of King Wei, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will pay 1.3 million taels." ”

This time, no one in the group of businessmen raised any objections, and they were not stupid, if they were raising the price, even if they won the right to operate, it would take years and months to recover the cost.

Han Kang also did this deliberately, and he couldn't help but laugh evilly at this time.

Xiao Ming watched from the wall, these businessmen came from all over the country, representing different interest groups, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, the snipe and the clam were competing for the fisherman's profit.

With Ding Wanquan at the beginning, the fiefs such as King Yan and King Zhao below were basically monopolized by local tycoons, and the rest of the areas were royal places, and these places really became the most fiercely contested places, especially in Chang'an, where ten merchants operated together.

This is a combination of weak businessmen, which is basically equivalent to the model of a joint venture company, in which the Wang family and the Qin family are both there, and it seems that they are excluding foreign businessmen, and the two coincide.

In one day, the cake of Dayu Kingdom was divided by all the businessmen who joined the Chamber of Commerce, and Xiao Mingkong's white wolf earned a total of seven million taels of silver.

Except for the two largest million-tael-level transactions, there are basically not many silver taels auctioned in other places, because these places do not have the wealth of Jiangnan, nor the concentration of the magnates of Chang'an, and even in some places, no one wants them at all.

Xiao Ming's business model, which is very common in modern times, is basically equivalent to hiring a local agent, and he is the largest agent.

The management rights of the states were auctioned, and the next step for businessmen was to buy land and build workshops in Qingzhou, and the growth of Qingzhou's wealth had just begun.
